GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER i, 1887.
THE MONT4 CENTRAL.

So much has been said and written
about the Manitoba and the wonder
full work it's doing, that the Montana
Central is in a manner lost sight of,
although an enterprise of mammoth
proportions and one. that is directly
doing a great work in the develop
ment of the territory. The Manitoba
and Montana Central, while closely
allied and in the control Of one mas
ter mind, are separate corporations
and will be so operated. The ter
minus of the Manitoba is at Great
Falls, although next season it will
doubtless be pushed on to the Pacific
ocean from this point, through one OF
the northern passes of the Rockies.
The main line of the Montana Cen
trail extends from Great Falls via Hell
ena to Butte with.branch lines already
built or under way to Rimini, Marys-
vile and Sand Coulee. Various other
branches are contemplated and it is
probable that a dozen of them will be
built and operated within the next
year or two-so that the Montana
Central is really the company that is
directly doing most for Montana and
is destined to be the most potent factor
in the field in the development of the
great mineral, agricultural and stock
resources of the Mountain Empire.
In view of these facts the TRIBUNE
is 10th to have this great Montana
corporation wholly oyer-shadowed,
and we take this occasion to proclaim
its greatness and the important rela-
tons it bears to this territory.

Central avenue will be a ornament
to Great Falls. and if those to follow
are on anything like the same scale,
it will prove a most fortunate thing
for our city that Mr.. Minot has be-
come SO greatly interested IN its adj
yancement and is SO confident OF its
prosperity.
The revenue of Choteau county
the past quarter for licenses amounted
to something over Sc, 900, the largest
amount aver collected in the same
period. We observe that about ST.
600 Of the amount is derived from
that portion of the county within the
limits of Cascade, SO that the new
county will have quite a revenue from
licenses to begin with. In addition
to this sum the territory taken from
Lewis and Clarke and Meagher coun-
ties will furnish an additional amount
of licenses which will probably swell
the sum to $4,000, or $4,000 a year.
This exceeds the license revenue of a
good many Of the old counties.

Local option scores another triumph
in this place, another drinking saloon
having been converted into q private
residence. The traffic now nourishes
in secret, and out ofthe-way places.
Farmers are planting garden peas
quite extensively in this section and
low prices are predicted by those not
planting. The acreage of round pota-
toes will he doubled over that Of last
wear. Sweets will be reduced some
what in number of plants set. A few
farmers will try lima and string beans
us market crop. The acreage of oats
will also be increased, owing to the good
crop of last Year-their quality having
in the last few years been very much
improved owing toimportations of Nor
thern oats for seed; OIL many farms
they now average so lbs. to the bushel,
or few over the standard weight. Those
farmers contemplating sowing. could
not do better than to invest few dol
lars in improved varieties Of Northern
oats for seed-it will pay.
There is talk around here of organ.
izing an association of farmers. The
objects of which will be similar to those
of the Onancock organization. 1t h;ls
been well said, that in union there is
strength. Why can't farmers see the
force of this truisln, and act together in
their dealings with railroads, steam
boats, Sc? Members OF all other trades
and professions unite for mutual lene-
fit, farmers alone, think they can pros
per without the assistance of each
other. Combinations of brain and cap
ital throughout the land conspire to
fleece them of their hard earned money.
They alone, of al men, are foolish
enough to think they can, single-hand-
ed, withstand these powerful organlza-
lions, can successfully resist tllelr on
slaughts upon their pockets and rights.
The Mappsvi'le Social Club, upon in
vitation, assembled at the house of MT.
John w. Gillespie in this place on Tues

White and Messrs. Hogue and White OF

town, Vim. Nelson of Nelsonia, and j.
II. Nicholson of Philadelphia. The
evening was passed very pleasantly in
laughter, song, music and play, Many Of
the older members lived over again the
scenes Of their youth, and the younger
ones enjoyed the occasion with a zest,
born of their youth and bright anticipa-
tions of the future. The conf, ction-
cries were prepared by Mr.. Walsh. and
were first class. At late hour the club
adjourned 10 meet at the house OF MI.

18th inst. The latest accession to the
membership is Master John Tilden

ward the entertainment Of the company
on the occasion. lie made quite an

present 10 see That he conducted himself
properly.
